Every participant who scored in the competition will receive a ribbon of participation. In addition to the prizes based on placement, the following special prizes will be awarded based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, the prize is awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round.

Congratulations to all our participants, and especially our winners; we've all had fun, and Wikipedia has benefitted massively from our content work.

Preparation for next year's WikiCup is ongoing. Interested parties are invited to sign up and participate in our straw polls. It's been a pleasure to work with you all this year, and, whoever's taking part in and running the competition in 2012, we hope to see you all in January!

Santhosh Pandit
Hello, some Admin deleted the Santhosh Pandit article based on an old AfD decision. Could you please check and restore the article. I think the old Afd decision will not hold good for the new article since notability is clearly established now. Anish Viswa  01:10, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I will talk to the Admin who deleted the article --  Tinu  Cherian  - 05:11, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Transliterations
Hi Tinu, I guess you saw my presentation in WCI about these Native language transliterations. I think its time we had a policy on that. If you think so too, can you help me start a policy discussion on that? Thanks,  Lynch 7  04:29, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
